Speaker 2: and let's get ready for an hour that's packed with
Speaker 2: valuable insights and engaging discussions. Doctor Bob and I are
Speaker 2: excited to get to started. Let's make this hour count.
Speaker 2: So first up, what I want to bring to your
Speaker 2: attention listeners is the overlooked cure for restless legs, and
Speaker 2: we're gonna put some calm in those legs today. For years,
Speaker 2: doctors have treated restless leg syndrome syndrome with drugs that,
Speaker 2: wait for it, turned patients into gamblers. But now experts
Speaker 2: confess we messed up the fix. It's a supplement that's
Speaker 2: hiding in plain sight. So I want to get into
Speaker 2: this with you. It's I want you to picture this.
Speaker 2: It's two am in your legs. They feel like they've
Speaker 2: appeared on Dancing with the Stars. That's restless legs syndrome.
Speaker 2: It affects one in ten people, mostly women, and for
Speaker 2: decades the go to treatment was a dopamine agonist like rapoanol.
Speaker 2: These drugs they boost dopamine. That's the brain's movement manager.
Speaker 2: But the twist here is dopamine also controls pleasure. Que
Speaker 2: these side effects like compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, even suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 2: I want you to take Joe Lee for instance. She
Speaker 2: was She's a mom's rights advocate. She spiraled into suicidal
Speaker 2: thoughts on these medications for it. Or there was an
Speaker 2: anonymous woman who sued who tried to suing the NIH
Speaker 2: the National Health Institute, after blowing her life savings on
Speaker 2: candy crush doctor Christy Anderson. She was a sleep neurologist.
Speaker 2: Amidst they're recalling patients the drugs they're just too risky.
Speaker 2: Now I want you, I want to enter iron here,
Speaker 2: this iron epiphany. That's the unsung hero. It turns out
Speaker 2: low iron disrupts dopamine's path to the brain even when
Speaker 2: you're not anemic. Studies show fifty percent of restless leg
Speaker 2: syndrome patients improved with iron supplements, and that's just as
Speaker 2: low as forty miligrams a day or also ivy iron infusions.
Speaker 2: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine now calls iron the
Speaker 2: first line of treatment. And this is why iron is
Speaker 2: so key. It's like a delivery truck for dopamine. If
Speaker 2: you don't have iron, the dopamine gets lost in transit.
Speaker 2: If you fix that iron, you fix the glitch. These
Speaker 2: researchers confirm this in twenty nineteen that iron eases restless
Speaker 2: leg syndrome even in non anemic patients. And why is
Speaker 2: dopamine the key? It's a neurotransmitter that's vital for muscle
Speaker 2: movement and low iron levels can lead to involuntary movements
Speaker 2: like restless leg. I want you to meet Emma, who
Speaker 2: is fifty eight. She battled restless leg syndrome for forty years.
Speaker 2: She had symptoms like itchy knees, sleepless nights, and failed medication.
Speaker 2: Then she tried ivy iron infusions. Three weeks later her
Speaker 2: symptoms completely vanished. That was one infusion and no relapse
Speaker 2: of symptoms. But here's the rub ivy iron infusions They
Speaker 2: could be costly, sometimes over one thousand dollars a treatment,
Speaker 2: and insurance rarely covers it, especially for restless leg syndrome.
Speaker 2: Professor Toby Richards, who as an iron expert, puts it bluntly,
Speaker 2: Why force patients into these risky pills when a fifteen
Speaker 2: minute IVY iron drip could cure them? Well, doctor Bob,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why iron solves the problem. Why would
Speaker 2: anybody want to do that? Your reliance on prescriptions decrease,
Speaker 2: and big pharma doesn't keep cashing in on you. But
Speaker 2: if you're ready for it to tackle restless legs, this
Speaker 2: is a roadmap that I think listeners need to do.
Speaker 2: They need to demand a blood test. They need to
Speaker 2: ask their their general practitioner or healthcare provider for a
Speaker 2: ferretin test which measures iron stores. And that's the ideal level.
Speaker 2: It's the gold standard there. Above seventy five units per
Speaker 2: liter is what would be considered a standard to help
Speaker 2: cure or help with that restless legs. And then I
Speaker 2: also encourage listeners to pop a pill, but not the
Speaker 2: pill they're thinking of when medication that it's daily iron
Speaker 2: supplements of sixty five milligrams roughly, but also with a
Speaker 2: vitamin C supplement because vitamin C boosts absorption. And I
Speaker 2: also consider to start eating smarter, load up on lentils, spinach,
Speaker 2: and red meat. If they're not vegetarian vegans, they compare
Speaker 2: lentils with lemon for that extra absorption. And then if
Speaker 2: all this doesn't increase it and you still have restless legs,
Speaker 2: you need to push for iv iron infusions. You need
Speaker 2: to lobby that with your practitioner. Also, I consider say
Speaker 2: call your insurance company, check your insurance coverage, and if not,
Speaker 2: lobby them to say, hey, this is something that works,
Speaker 2: it'd be much much more affordable over a lifetime of
Speaker 2: medication management. I'm doctor Bob.
Speaker 3: Well, this is clinical nutrition one oh one. We were
Speaker 3: learning this twenty thirty years ago. That restless legs syndrome,
Speaker 3: which is where your legs, ladies and gentlemen, you try
Speaker 3: to sleep at night and your legs want are dance.
Speaker 3: They just keep twitching and dancing and twirling in the bed.
Speaker 3: And yet your dog tired and you can't let the
Speaker 3: legs won't calm down. That is your body telling you
Speaker 3: that something's out of balance. And since the medical profession
Speaker 3: in conventional medicine as almost like zero training and clinical nutrition,
Speaker 3: you can't expect them to know about these things. That's
Speaker 3: why you need to have different forms of healthcare providers
Speaker 3: in your repertoire of healthcare, like a chiropractor. This is
Speaker 3: basic information that chiropractors learn because they learn nutrition and
Speaker 3: they go on to become Board Certified in Nutrition, which
Speaker 3: is a three year additional program in addition to the
Speaker 3: eight years of college that are required by chiropractic physicians
Speaker 3: to become physicians. And so this is basic stuff. Now,
Speaker 3: there are other reasons for restless like syndrome. One, you
Speaker 3: can be dehydrated, so make sure you stand on top
Speaker 3: of your water. Sedentary lifestyle, if you're sitting all day long,
Speaker 3: you need to get up and move around because that
Speaker 3: can also exacerbate restless like syndrome. If you're using caffeine,
Speaker 3: it also destroys and makes worse the iron deficiency. It
Speaker 3: actually blunts your ability to absorb iron and it takes
Speaker 3: iron out of the body. So caffeine is a problem
Speaker 3: with people who have restless leg sin. And as doctor
Speaker 3: Brockman pointed out, if your blood test, your total iron
Speaker 3: and your iron binding capacity, they should all be done
Speaker 3: in your blood test. If they're low, then you supplement
Speaker 3: along with foods that are high and iron. And if
Speaker 3: that ferretin that he mentioned is below it's normal optimal range,
Speaker 3: which is around one hundred. That also, in addition to
Speaker 3: meaning you're having problems with iron, your be complex deficient.
Speaker 3: So you should be taking B complex vitamins right along
Speaker 3: with an iron supplement until your levels go up, your
Speaker 3: symptoms are reduced, you're sleeping better at night, and then
Speaker 3: you can get off the iron itself and just go
Speaker 3: to a multi that has the iron in it. All right, Doctor.
Speaker 2: Brockman, Yeah, I think that's a great great points there,
Speaker 2: I think, and Doctor Bob, but we're heading up to
Speaker 2: a break and when we come back, we'll get to
Speaker 2: that Health Alterna of the Week is going to tie
Speaker 2: into this, and listeners, you are listening to the Doctor
Speaker 2: Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 4: I catch.
Speaker 5: Yes up on your.
Speaker 2: Welcome back. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
Speaker 2: and I'm your co host, doctor Adam Brockman, and I
Speaker 2: want to remind listeners we're about to get into some
Speaker 2: calls and if you have health related questions, we've got
Speaker 2: the answers. Call our toll free hotline at eight hundred
Speaker 2: and six zero six eight eight two two, where two
Speaker 2: licensed physicians, Doctor Bob myself are ready to assist you
Speaker 2: on your journey to better health. And whether you're curious
Speaker 2: about natural remedies, wellness to or anything in between, we're
Speaker 2: here for you. So grab that phone and give us
Speaker 2: a call eight hundred and six or oh six, eight
Speaker 2: eighty two to two. Your health is just a dial away,
Speaker 2: and we want to get right into the health Alternative
Speaker 2: of the week. All right. Our Health Alternative of the
Speaker 2: Week is going to tie in to the first part
Speaker 2: of the show today, and I want to encourage listeners
Speaker 2: to about this liquid iron revolution. And it's not just
Speaker 2: for restless legs. What if I told you that your
Speaker 2: healthy energy drinks are robbing you of that energy that
Speaker 2: you're looking for. That morning coffee ritual might be blocking
Speaker 2: the very nutrient that keeps you vibrant. This week's game
Speaker 2: changing alternative is another It's not another stimulant like that.
Speaker 2: It's Sun Warriors Oasis liquid iron. It's a plant powered
Speaker 2: secret to real energy and it works from the inside out.
Speaker 2: Here's the truth. Nearly one in three women and one
Speaker 2: in five men are iron deficient and they don't even
Speaker 2: know it. The symptoms they include fatigue, brain fog, restless legs.
Speaker 2: Like we talked about all masked by just they think
Speaker 2: they're just busy. It's not the case here. In that
Speaker 2: daily coffee or the black tea, it blocks iron absorption
Speaker 2: by nearly sixty percent. We're caffeinating our way into exhaustion.
Speaker 2: Most iron supplements they don't really taste good. They cause constipation,
Speaker 2: they taste metallic in nature, and they're harsh on your gut.
Speaker 2: But sun Warriors Liquid Iron, it's a plant based revolution
Speaker 2: with fairir care iron. It's gentle and absorbable. They also
Speaker 2: get it's got vitamin C already in it and that
Speaker 2: helps to boost that uptake and there's no stomach wrecking.
Speaker 2: There's a flavor like mixed berries. It's just delicious. And
Speaker 2: as a natural medicine physician, I hate just band aating
Speaker 2: like energy drinks. They're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Real
Speaker 2: energy comes from nourishing your cells, and iron is the
Speaker 2: oxygen taxi your blood desperately needs. Sun Warrior's formula for this.
Speaker 2: It's genius. It's vegan friendly, no heme iron from animals.
Speaker 2: There's no iron overload risk. Your body absorbs only what
Speaker 2: it needs, and this is how I use it. I
Speaker 2: take it with a fresh squeeze juice in the morning
Speaker 2: because vitamin C absorbs that helps boost it, and I
Speaker 2: use that instead of coffee. You can find Sunwarrior Oasis
Speaker 2: Liquid Iron at Sunwarrior dot com and at finer health
Speaker 2: food stores like Natural Gris Gros who carry Sunwarriors full
Speaker 2: line of products. And here's a tip, grab Sunwarriors Iron
Speaker 2: Plus Energy sampler pack and find out what your favorite
Speaker 2: flavor is there. I also like raspberry lemon. It contastes
Speaker 2: like a healthier Capri Sun. So this week's energy experiment
Speaker 2: is swapping one coffee for this liquid Iron plus juice combo.
Speaker 2: Notice the steady vibrancy with it. There's no jitters and
Speaker 2: no crash. It's just real fuel. So you can be
Speaker 2: your own ironman or ironwoman. Doctor Bob.
Speaker 3: Excellent Health alternative of the Week, Doctor Brockman, thank you
Speaker 3: for that. I think a lot of people are going
Speaker 3: to benefit by that. It is available in health food
Speaker 3: stores nationwide, but look for it at natural grocery stores
Speaker 3: if you're lucky enough to have one near you, or
Speaker 3: you can hit their website to find a whole host
Speaker 3: of Sunwarrior products over at Naturalgrocers dot com, Naturalgrocers dot com.
Speaker 3: What else should we have, Doctor Brock.
Speaker 2: I think let's get right back into calling questions. Next up,
Speaker 2: we have Pat from North Iowa.
Speaker 6: Hello, thank you for taking my call. My name is
Speaker 6: Pat and I'm from Benton or If Iowa. Is it
Speaker 6: possible to get too much magnesium in a supplement? Thank you?
Speaker 6: And I ensure your show very much by now.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you Pat for your kind for the question,
Speaker 2: and I'm also glad to hear that you enjoy the show.
Speaker 2: We love hearing from listeners just like yourself. Let's talk
Speaker 2: about magnesium here for a second. It's one of my
Speaker 2: absolute favorite minerals in natural medicine. I use it a
Speaker 2: lot of times in my toolbox. Actually, it supports over
Speaker 2: three hundred enzymatic reactions in the body, everything from nerve
Speaker 2: conduction in muscle relaxation to energy production. It also helps
Speaker 2: with blood sugar regulation and of course sleep quality. I
Speaker 2: think we talked about that several times on here, Doctor Bob,
Speaker 2: and the question you ask here can you get too much?
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes, but with some context. Most
Speaker 2: people are deficient in magnesium, especially due to stressful lifestyles
Speaker 2: that burn through those magnesium reserves, so in most cases
Speaker 2: supplementation is not only safe, but it's necessary. And that said,
Speaker 2: too much magnesium, especially from supplements, can cause some problems.
Speaker 2: It's typical in the form of loose stools or diarrhea
Speaker 2: and nausea or abdominal cramping. And this is when you
Speaker 2: need to be cautious on it. If you have a
Speaker 2: kidney disease, you should. You should make sure to not
Speaker 2: supplement magnesium without the direct supervision of somebody that knows
Speaker 2: what they're doing, like a naturopathic physician, a chiropractor, or
Speaker 2: a holistic practitioner. You don't want too much if it's
Speaker 2: going to stress those dnees out. The sweet spot here
Speaker 2: is most people benefit from somewhere about two hundred to
Speaker 2: four hundred milligrams per day. It's ideal to split if
Speaker 2: in two doses if you can. I often recommend magnesium
Speaker 2: glycinate or magnesium mallee. Both are well tolerated and absorbable,
Speaker 2: especially for those dealing with anxiety, sleep issues, or muscle tension.
Speaker 2: Like we mentioned, I like brands like Essential Formulas, has
Speaker 2: a great one here in sun Warrior, which we just
Speaker 2: mentioned in the Health Alternative. They have high quality magnesium
Speaker 2: blends that are designed with bioavailability in mind. That's that
Speaker 2: uptake that your body needs, meaning that your body can
Speaker 2: actually use what you're taking in Look for those forms
Speaker 2: that are gentle, it's general in the stomach and pair
Speaker 2: it with some other cofactors that enhance that absorption rate.
Speaker 2: And doctor Bob, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think the colors issue is from bent North, Iowa, my
Speaker 3: old stomping ground there the quad Cities in Iowa. It's
Speaker 3: where I grew up in Davin, Iowa. So that kind
Speaker 3: of brought back some memories. Yes, you don't have to
Speaker 3: worry typically about being overdosed on magnesium, since it's estimated
Speaker 3: that about seventy percent of all Americans have magnesium deficiency.
Speaker 3: Magnesium deficiency and that is that stems from the fact
Speaker 3: that due to the farming practices, due to the way
Speaker 3: that we treat the soil today, you don't have plants
Speaker 3: that are uptaking enough magnesium. A stock of broccoli or
Speaker 3: cauliflower or some other vegetable that was replete with magnesium
Speaker 3: maybe sixty years ago, when we had actual good fertilizer
Speaker 3: from coalmaneure and other things. Now we're using everything synthetic.
Speaker 3: You lose those nutrients when you start messing with the soil,
Speaker 3: and therefore the plants don't take up as much of
Speaker 3: the nutrient value, and then when we eat the plants,
Speaker 3: we don't get the nutrients we need. And that's how
Speaker 3: this soul thing starts rolling. Now, with respect to dosage,
Speaker 3: the upper limit in this depends on the person, their condition,
Speaker 3: and it should be advised by somebody who's learned in
Speaker 3: the nutrition area, and that would be anybody without an
Speaker 3: MD behind their name, uh, because they just basically don't
Speaker 3: get it. But magnesium, you can go up into the
Speaker 3: upper limit of a thousand milligrams of magnesium per day
Speaker 3: spread out. Most minerals are best taken at the front
Speaker 3: end of a meal, so take those and you can
Speaker 3: take it before you go to bed if you want.
Speaker 3: The magnesium glycinate help you sleep better if you got
Speaker 3: leg cramps or whatever. But there's all kinds of like
Speaker 3: six or seven different forms of magnesium that are cleaved,
Speaker 3: usually to some type of amino acid. You mentioned the glycinate.
Speaker 3: There's toau eight mal eate. There's all kinds of sit
Speaker 3: rate forms of magnesium. You find the one that's right
Speaker 3: for you, the dosage that is right for you. And
Speaker 3: if you can't figure it out for yourself, most will do.
Speaker 3: That's when you start consulting learned healthcare providers that actually
Speaker 3: have training and knowledge and information about nutrition, and those
Speaker 3: doctors are doctors of choice in the area of nutrition
Speaker 3: in addition to the mainstain stay of their profession. That
Speaker 3: would be chiropractic physicians, nature pathic physicians, homeopathic physicians. A
Speaker 3: lot of PhDs also learn clinical nutrition, and doctors of
Speaker 3: medicine and osteopathy who have actually extra training outside of
Speaker 3: their core training in functional medicine or integrative medicine. They're
Speaker 3: also equipped to handle these kinds of problems.
Speaker 2: Sorry, doctor Brockam Okay, Well, I think we're coming up
Speaker 2: on a break here, so what we'll do when we
Speaker 2: come back. I think we're going to have a health
Speaker 2: outrage of the week. And you are listening to the
Speaker 2: Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 6: Everybody's got a fame, mistakes, but everybody's got a choice
Speaker 6: to make.

Speaker 3: be helped by it, go to doctor Bob dot com
Speaker 3: spelling out the word doctor. All right, we'll get back
Speaker 3: to more of the information that we're bringing here today.
Speaker 3: Stand by, but before we do that, let's talk about pea. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like green pea. That's the initial for a substance called
Speaker 3: palmotoy lethanola meine palmotoilethanola mean or pea for short. Is
Speaker 3: what scientists have figured out is contained in certain foods
Speaker 3: in very minuscule or minute amounts, yet it has the
Speaker 3: ability to help us out with our health. Now, some
Speaker 3: of the foods that contain this magical, amazing therapeutic nutrient.
Speaker 3: You can find it in small amounts of egg yolks
Speaker 3: and other foods, but you got to eat a lot
Speaker 3: of it in order to get it. But the scientists
Speaker 3: finally figured that out how to put it in a
Speaker 3: supplement form a concentrated forms, so that if you're being
Speaker 3: troubled with muscle pain, you're not recovering from injuries as
Speaker 3: fast as you used to, or from sporting events, or
Speaker 3: you have arthritic symptoms, or you have low range of
Speaker 3: motion or poor range emotion or mobility, or even cognitive
Speaker 3: health problems, and a multitude of other health concerns. This
Speaker 3: pea nutriish nutrition supplement by Terry Naturally Vitamins is helping
Speaker 3: a lot of people out and they're being helped in
Speaker 3: a whole variety of areas of health, including with allergies,
Speaker 3: respiratory symptoms, even that dreaded fibromyalgia. Pea. The supplement from
Speaker 3: Terry Naturally Vitamins helps address that because it has strong
Speaker 3: potent anti inflammatory action. The researchers investigated the ability to
Speaker 3: relieve pain in a variety of conditions like sciatica, neuropathy EA,
Speaker 3: or jaw pain. BA supplementation helped plus the scientific research
Speaker 3: on the most common forms of arthritis ost arthritis. Supplement
Speaker 3: with pea to lower those inflammatory elements so that your
Speaker 3: cartilage no longer is destroyed and you don't have that swelling.
Speaker 3: Pea has no adverse side effects, no known adverse side effects.
Speaker 3: It just helps lower the inflammatory cycle, which then helps
Speaker 3: the whole body function better. If you want to find
Speaker 3: out more about the supplement pea, you can find it
Speaker 3: in finer health food stores nationwide, or you can go
Speaker 3: to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins dot com. Terry Naturally
Speaker 3: Vitamins dot com. You're looking for pea, the nutritional supplement.
Speaker 3: Doctor Brockman, all.
Speaker 2: Right, we're gonna get into our health outrage of the.
Speaker 5: Week, the Juliet Some eats to for the health outbridge
Speaker 5: because it's nothing, but.
Speaker 2: It's a hospital cafeteria shocker. It's when kale meets a
Speaker 2: cheeseburger in healthcare's bizarre food fight. Folks, this week's health
Speaker 2: outrage is equally ironic as it is outrageous. We've got
Speaker 2: hospitals who should be preaching food as medicine while their
Speaker 2: cafeterias are slaining more junk food than a seven to eleven.
Speaker 2: The same institutes are handing out statin prescriptions. They're also
Speaker 2: peddling sugar laden smoothies and nacho platters that are bigger
Speaker 2: than your copey. Here's the scoop that report dropped this
Speaker 2: week exposing that sixty percent of US hospital cafeterias they
Speaker 2: still stock sugary soft drinks, deep fried vegetables like onion rains,
Speaker 2: and so called heart healthy muffins that they have enough
Speaker 2: sugar to resurrect a t rex and this is why
Speaker 2: it's bonkers. Nurses are handing out diabetes pamphlets in rooms
Speaker 2: above a food court selling cinnabon. One hospital ceo actually said,
Speaker 2: we have to meet patients where they are. I don't
Speaker 2: know where exactly they are, but the hospital it's not
Speaker 2: place I want to be at, which the hospital apparently
Speaker 2: means that they're knee deep in cheese sauce. And if
Speaker 2: you think about it, many hospitals now charge fifteen plus
Speaker 2: dollars for a kale salad, but still give free soft
Speaker 2: drink refills. Priorities. Right, it's time to walk the walk
Speaker 2: for hospitals. They should offer organic options. Maybe they should
Speaker 2: partner with local farms and not frozen food trucks, and
Speaker 2: prescribe food vouchers that are healthy instead of just pill bottles.
Speaker 2: And next time, listeners, you're visiting a hospital and you're
Speaker 2: going to the cafeteria, ask got any meals that won't
Speaker 2: land me back in here for six months? Let's make
Speaker 2: a do no harm apply to the hospital cafeteria as well.
Speaker 2: That's your health outrage of the week. What do you think,
Speaker 2: doctor Bob?
Speaker 3: Hospital food is a joke. Everybody knows that it is horrible.
Speaker 3: I mean, if they believe that there was any relationship
Speaker 3: between nutrition and health, you would see that practice occurring
Speaker 3: in the hospital cafeteria and the food that they feed
Speaker 3: patients while they're in the hospital. I mean, you go there,
Speaker 3: what do you get? You get tapioca, you get jello,
Speaker 3: you get white white bread, you get white milk, And
Speaker 3: they expect patients to come out of those beds with
Speaker 3: all of the conditions that they come in there with.
Speaker 3: No they add to the problem. And this is why
Speaker 3: we need a healthcare system. We don't have one. I mean,
Speaker 3: hospitals are great play. If you roll up into the
Speaker 3: hospital in an ambulance and you've got gun bullet wounds, gunshots,
Speaker 3: you've got a fracture, you've had a heart attack or
Speaker 3: a stroke, or some other extraordinary problem that requires emergency
Speaker 3: medical care. Yes, we do a fantastic job of saving
Speaker 3: lives in that particular area or arena. But when it
Speaker 3: comes to chronic degenerative problems, where people are wounding themselves
Speaker 3: on a daily basis with their fork and spoon by
Speaker 3: what they're putting into their pie hole, and they're not
Speaker 3: being told by their doctors, their supposed health care providers,
Speaker 3: they ought to change their diets, they ought to change
Speaker 3: their lifestyle. They need to be doing this, that, and
Speaker 3: the other things is stay healthy and stay out of
Speaker 3: their offices. Once that begins, we'll start to make strides
Speaker 3: in this health care crisis that is affecting our nation
Speaker 3: right now. And I'm so glad that Robert F. Kennedy,
Speaker 3: who is now the Controller of the Health and Human
Speaker 3: Services area of our government, is looking at it. He
Speaker 3: cleaned house over at the joke FDA, CDC. And once
Speaker 3: we get all of the cancer out of those organizations
Speaker 3: who are on the take with the pharmaceutical companies and
Speaker 3: it's trying to practice, you know, the normal stuff that
Speaker 3: they've been doing for years. Status quo disease means there's
Speaker 3: gold in them URLs. Once those are changed around and
Speaker 3: you change the diet preferences in hospitals sixty percent junk
Speaker 3: food sugar, we're going to start getting sick people well
Speaker 3: where they don't need to be in hospitals and they
Speaker 3: don't get sicker in hospitals, and our nation will be
Speaker 3: a lot better off as a result of finally moving
Speaker 3: in the area of having a healthcare system rather than
Speaker 3: just a sick care system. All right, we'll come back
Speaker 3: with more. Stay with us. You're tuned into the Doctor

Speaker 2: empower each other to live our healthiest lives. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get right into a product recall. This week's product recall,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you know about lasteria outbreak that's been
Speaker 2: linked to Walmart and Kroger's Ready to Eat meals. Three
Speaker 2: deaths and at least seventeen hospitalizations have been reported across
Speaker 2: thirteen states. I want to get you the critical details
Speaker 2: on this to keep your family safe if you're eating
Speaker 2: these products. So the recall effects. Fresh Realms Chicken Fetuccini
Speaker 2: Alfredo meals. It's sold under two brands, the market side
Speaker 2: Grilled Chicken Alfredo, which I believe is Walmart's brand with
Speaker 2: best buy dates of in June twenty twenty five, and
Speaker 2: there's also Home Chef Heat and Eat Chicken Fetichini Alfredo
Speaker 2: with best by dates of June again or even earlier
Speaker 2: than that into May, and lasteria is particularly dangerous for
Speaker 2: pregnant women, newborn seniors, and those with weakened immune systems.
Speaker 2: The symptoms start with fever, headaches, and diarrhea, but can
Speaker 2: escalate into seizures, meningitis, are even death. Pregnant women may
Speaker 2: experience mild symptoms, but they risk miscarriage or severe complications
Speaker 2: for the baby. So if you consume these meals and
Speaker 2: develop some symptoms even weeks later, contact your health care provider.
Speaker 2: Lasteria is treatable, but early action is critical. It's been
Speaker 2: your product, recall. All right, we're gonna get right back
Speaker 2: into questions. Next up is Shannon from fort Worth, Texas.
Speaker 8: Shannon, fort Worth, Texas. I would like to know is
Speaker 8: there anything that a person can take. My mother's elderly
Speaker 8: and she continues to have uinary track in sections, specifically
Speaker 8: e coali. She lives in her nursing home and she's
Speaker 8: in continent. Any way you can get rid of your
Speaker 8: UTIs or e coali without animbiotics. A friend of mine
Speaker 8: mentioned just yesterday something her doctor recommended. It's about one
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty dollars machine that looks like a water picture,
Speaker 8: and I think it I denizes the water. It looks
Speaker 8: like it's water put in it, but it does something
Speaker 8: to that water. The little machine it looks like a picture,
Speaker 8: and you drink about an ounce or half an ounce
Speaker 8: a day. I forgot the name of it. But do
Speaker 8: you know anything else that can get rid of or
Speaker 8: help the body get rid of UTIs? And my mother
Speaker 8: has fatty liver and she has also pancreas cancer on
Speaker 8: stage four. She's not actively dying, but anything that can
Speaker 8: strengthen her immune system. Thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, Shannon, thank you for your question. There, recurrent
Speaker 2: urinary tract infections, especially caused by E. Coli, it can
Speaker 2: be very challenging, especially in elderly patients with complex conditions
Speaker 2: like you mentioned there. Fatty liver in pancreatic cancer. From
Speaker 2: a natural medicine perspective, supporting the body's own defenses in
Speaker 2: creating an environment that discourages bacterial growth is key. So
Speaker 2: here's some gentle strategies that may help with it. What
Speaker 2: you mentioned there, hydration in urine pH Staying well hydrated
Speaker 2: helps flush the bacteria from the urinary tract. The ionizing
Speaker 2: water picture that you mentioned it's designed to alter the
Speaker 2: water pH which can support detoxification and immune function. And
Speaker 2: while the research there is limited, drinking clean alkaline water
Speaker 2: can be a supportive habit. I also suggest that you
Speaker 2: give her cranberry extract. Cranberry contains compounds that prevent e
Speaker 2: Coalie from adhering to those bladder walls. You need to
Speaker 2: look for high quality cranberry supplements or unsweetened juice. I
Speaker 2: also recommend probiotics. A healthy microbiome is critical here to
Speaker 2: fight these infections. Probiotics like doctor Oheres can help restore
Speaker 2: beneficial bacteria in the gut and urinary tract and that
Speaker 2: supports immune function and reduces the infection risk. And also
Speaker 2: need to work on it boosting her immune system and
Speaker 2: given her cancer that she has cancer in fatty liver,
Speaker 2: general immune support here is important. I suggest here is
Speaker 2: supplement chyolic age garlic extract. It has immune modulating properties
Speaker 2: and an antiox benefits that may help support her overall health.
Speaker 2: Also to consider here, I know she's elderly with some
Speaker 2: of these conditions, but died in lifestyle you know, minimize
Speaker 2: the sugar and processed foods, focus on anti inflammatory whole
Speaker 2: foods and ensuring proper rest can help boost that immune system.
Speaker 2: And of course, given your mother's complex health situation, it's
Speaker 2: important that any new supplements or approaches are coredated with her,
Speaker 2: with her healthcare team, assuming that she has multiple health
Speaker 2: care providers here with these multiple conditions. We obviously doctor
Speaker 2: Bob myself, we wish your mother strength and healing in
Speaker 2: this and thanks again for your question and comment. So
Speaker 2: we're coming up on another break, but don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: We're hitting our final part, which is the health Mystery
Speaker 2: of the week, and we encourage you to stick around
Speaker 2: for that. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
Speaker 2: and welcome back. I'm doctor Adam Brockman and you're listening
Speaker 2: to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I want to remind
Speaker 2: you as we continue our health health journey together, I
Speaker 2: want to remind you of a fantastic resources that we have.
Speaker 2: It's our email health form. If you have those health
Speaker 2: related questions or topics you'd like us to cover on air,
Speaker 2: simply send your questions via our health our email form
Speaker 2: on the website go to doctor Bob dot com. It's
Speaker 2: spelling out the word doctor D O C t o
Speaker 2: R Bob dot com. Doctor Bob and myself, we're eager
Speaker 2: to provide you the answers and insights you need. Go
Speaker 2: ahead and send us your way. We are entering the
Speaker 2: final part of the show here. I want to go
Speaker 2: ahead and get this health mystery of the week going.
Speaker 2: Our health mystery of the week is the man who
Speaker 2: can't feel cold. So what if I told you that
Speaker 2: there's a man in the Netherlands who literally cannot feel cold.
Speaker 2: While the rest of us are bundling up, Wim Hawf
Speaker 2: is climbing Mount Everest in shorts and meditating an ice
Speaker 2: baz for hours. This week's health mystery isn't just bizarre.
Speaker 2: It may challenge what we know about human biology. It's
Speaker 2: the Iceman cometh I want you to meet. William Hoff
Speaker 2: calls himself the Iceman, a Dutch extreme athlete who holds
Speaker 2: twenty six world records for withstanding cold. This is his
Speaker 2: party tricks. He sits in ice for one hour and
Speaker 2: fifty two minutes. That's a record Most of us would
Speaker 2: die in fifteen minutes. He's ran a marathon in the
Speaker 2: Arctic barefoot, and he voluntarily spikes his immune response to
Speaker 2: fight an off injected bacteria. That's just crazy. Scientists initially
Speaker 2: thought he was a freak of nature until he taught
Speaker 2: his methods to others. Now this whim Hoff. His breathing
Speaker 2: technique is backed by peer review studies that show it
Speaker 2: can reduce inflammation, boost immunity. It even helps with anxiety
Speaker 2: and depression. Here's where it gets really weird. Hoff claims
Speaker 2: his methods taped into ancient human potential, a sort of
Speaker 2: on switch for dormant biology. But as a natural medicine physician,
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit skeptical here, but I am fascinated.
Speaker 2: Cold exposure we do know triggers brown fat activation, which
Speaker 2: burns calories. Dopamine spikes as much as three hundred percent
Speaker 2: in a vegas nerve stimulation here. But before you dump
Speaker 2: ice in every bathtub that you own, here's a warning.
Speaker 2: Uncontrolled cold exposure can cause heart attack. Hoff trains people
Speaker 2: gradually over months. So if you want to dip your
Speaker 2: toe in here, I suggest trying just the thirty seconds,
Speaker 2: Maybe finish your shower fifteen seconds of cold water, breathe
Speaker 2: deeply through the shock, no hyperventilating here, and gradually increase
Speaker 2: that time. Wow, but we're coming up here, Doctor Bobby,
Speaker 2: got your thoughts on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's good. I like getting in the cold.
Speaker 3: I don't like the cold, but I think it's good
Speaker 3: for the body for those people who are able to
Speaker 3: adapt to it. We don't know exactly how it works.
Speaker 3: We're still trying to figure that out. That's the health
Speaker 3: mystery of the week. All right, I'm gonna take a
Speaker 3: little bit of time off. Doctor Adam Brockman will be
Speaker 3: with you, taking good care of you, and I'll be
Speaker 3: back later on. Make it a healthy day and a
Speaker 3: healthy week. You've been tuned into the doctor Bob Martinshell
